Aliit ori'shya tal'din Ep. 1

Manda'lore Translation-"Family is more than blood."


Inspiration from the Mandalorian Season 1 Episode 1 and Ruby's backstory is a bit inspired from Star Wars Fallen Order.


Din Djarin/Mando/Mandalorian-Oscar Pine


Ruby Rose-Jedi Padawan that survived Order 66


Greef Karga-Roman Torchwick (Was going to go with Flynt Coal but, I kinda see Roman for some reason.) Neo will be with him as well. Can't separate those two, now can we?


IG-11-Penny Polendina.


Baby Yoda-Honestly, not going to replace him


Kuiil-Klein Sieben


"Oh a few more people are needed here," G-Fan snapped his fingers and Doctor Oobleck, Professor Port, Ilia Amitola, Kali and Ghira Belladonna, appeared with Sienna Kahn. The Boy flicked both their heads with two fingers and sat down as they experienced minor head aches. "Mom, Dad?!" Blake said in shock after the new newcomers got over their head aches respectively. "So...we're watching multiple worlds about a farm boy and a drunkard Huntsman?" Ghira asked. "It appears so, Ghira." Selina replied. "Oh, Qrow isn't drinking anymore," As surprising it sounds (Depending on anyone's view.) that came from Winter. G-Fan looked into her mind and smiled that her and Qrow apparently sang together like in the last viewing. He chuckled lightly and snickered, "Snowbirds lovebirds." and he tossed the Oscar orb into the screen and said, "Oh and we are returning to the world of Star Wars".  That got a few excited about what they'll see, while some looked forward to see the technology of this space viewing.


(If you guys wanted me to write another story featuring how the characters interact with Qrow and Oscar in the intermission, I'll try to remember to do that.)


 The screen remains black as a low beeping was heard before the Audience saw what is known as a pair of tracking fobs being held by two different hands. One being bare, despite the cold air and the other wore gloves and had gauntlets. The Audience get a better view of the two people and saw that one was covered by a red cloak and hood, while the second person had a silver helmet with multi shades of brown and yellow with a dark brown cape and what looked like a between a sniper rifle and two pointed spear. The cloaked figure shares a glance with the one with a helmet to show the Audience that they had silver eyes before the duo walks to the settlement on a used path in a frozen tundra.


"Call it a hunch but I think one of those two is me," Ruby said rubbing her chin. Weiss rolled her eyes a little. "Ruby the chose of clothing and the silver eyes gave it away." Nearby, Coco nodded. "Yeah even with your new look, I still recognize you Red," the fashionista said, this caused the red reaper to look down at her clothes and saw their points.


"And I bet the other guy is cute lil' Oz boy," Nora said cheerfully. This caused Ruby to pay attention to the screen as Yang elbowed her with a smirk. Summer and her team smiled at the leader of Team RWBY with a smile on their faces. Penny studied the Oscar on screen's armor and said to Winter "Mr. Pine's armor seems to be durable almost as our prototype Paladins." Those from Atlas and Mantle wondered if they could use the metal for themselves and wondered if they could find the metal in their world. "I must say, Mr. Pine's weapon of choice is rather interesting," commented Port. "Huh, look at that Ruby," Yang said to Ruby, "You and Oscar are sniper rifle buddies in here." Ruby blushed. "Yang!"


Back onscreen, the scene changes to show the inside of a cantina and two trawlers hold down a blue alien called a Mythrol onto a table. The drawlers spoke in a foreign language not even Oobleck ("Doctor!")-Doctor Oobleck and Ozpin nor Salem understood. Luckily subtitles were shown. "Look at his glands!" exclaimed the first one. "I bet we could sell them at the port."


To say this disgusted a few, would be an little understatement. "Wait, what are doing to that...person." Willow said, she paused only because she noticed that the Mythrol wasn't human. "One of the most complicated professions in the multiverse," G-Fan said, getting everyone's attention. "Bounty hunting."


Yang-Huh, for a split second, I thought it was something else.


Weiss-So...that means Ruby and Oscar are bounty hunters?


G-Fan-I'm pretty sure I don't have to answer that.


"Please! Please!" The Mythrol said in English or Common in Remnant terms, "I have credits! Take them!" The four bounty hunters laughed and glanced at each with wide grins, "He's young," the Alpha Trawler says to the others, "The musk will be sweet." He pulls out a knife and holds it to the Mythrol's face, "Now for the real prize." 


Roman-Apparently, the guy's wanted dead or alive.


Neo-*Holds up a sign* And these guys chose dead.


(Start music.)


Back onscreen, before the Trawlers made their move, the doors slide open and Ruby and Oscar stand there before entering. The Alpha's drink spelled, which he noticed. He muttered something that wasn't subtitled before he turned to the duo. "You spilled my drink." Ruby and Oscar ignore him as they walk to the counter. "Hey, Mando, Reaper, you spilled my drink!"


"That was so not my sis's or Oscar's fault at all," Yang said, glaring at the Alpha trawler with her signature crimson eyes.  The adults noticed what he called the duo. "Mando and Reaper? Is that their names in this universe?" Ozpin was the one to ask. "No, Oscar is known as a Mandalorian or Mando for short, his real name is unknown to others. Including Ruby. Sorry Ruby," The Boy said and apologized noticing a hurt look from Ruby. "Reaper or the Crimson Reaper is what Ruby is known throughout the Bounty Hunter Guild." There a lot of "OH's" and nods in understanding before they all turned to the screen.


When Mando-Oscar and Reaper-Ruby didn't say anything to the Alpha, he and the other Trawlers stood up and walked to them both. "I said," the Alpha growled, looking in between Mando-Oscar and Reaper-Ruby, "you spilled, my drink..." Neither Mando-Oscar or Ruby said anything. Ruby raised her hands and took off her hood. She seemed to be in her in her late twenties or early thirties. Her skin was pale just like her counterpart offscreen, her hair was the same but what was distinguishable was that she had an horizontal scar below her left eye.


The Ruby offscreen was a bit surprised that she had a scar and wondered how she got it. Yang was a bit worried as well but she was brought out those thoughts when Summer hugged Ruby and said proudly, "My baby's all grown up. I'm so proud!" Ruby waved her arms as she struggled to get free. Tai wiped a tear before hugging Ruby. Yang shook her head smiling before hugging her little sister. Her eyes widened when Raven joined in the embrace as well. The blonde brawler and the Bandit Queen shared a long look before Yang wrapped around her arm around Raven. Raven smiled warmly and returned embrace.


"I'll admit time has been kind to her other," Mercury whispered to Emerald who rolled her eyes at her partner's antics.


Back to the screen, the elder bartender must have assumed that neither Oscar or Ruby understood the Alpha Trawler before he leaned in and said to them, "He says you spilled his drink." Still no response, the elder nodded and said, "It's alright, it's on me." As he poured another drink a Trawler leaned close to Oscar and asked, "Is that real beskar steel?" Oscar says nothing and another Trawler leans to Ruby, saliva drueling and said, "Pretty little cape."


Ruby shivered offscreen while her family glared at the Trawler. "Okay, I'll admit that guy is a creep." Mercury said to Emerald. "Wow, when Mercury admits something like that with honesty you know something's wrong." Emerald said with wide eyes as Tyrian chuckled, "What's wrong little rose, lost your thorns?"


The Alpha Trawler scrapes his knife against a shoulder guard, and a drip of saliva landed on Ruby's cape. There the Audience sees a glare from Ruby that terrified those that knew her. Mando-Oscar's helmet hid any emotion he had as the bartender slid the new drink to the Alpha Trawler. Before he could grab it Mando-Oscar catches it and elbows two Trawlers as Ruby jumps and spins in the air, to kick the other Trawlers, knocking them down. The Alpha tried to stab Mando-Oscar but he caught the hand and forced the Alpha's arm to bend the wrong way before he stabbed the Alpha in the back. The Alpha screamed in pain as Ruby drew out a blue lightsaber and sliced the arm and the hand off of the other two, the final one tries to run out of the cantina but Mando-Oscar fires a grappling hook from his right gauntlet which wraps around the Trawler's legs.


 The Trawler trips and grabs his blaster and shoots at Mando-Oscar. The Audience grew worried when he didn't move, but fortunately the blast bolt deflects off his shoulder guard as Mando-Oscar drew his blaster and fired at the doors lock and the doors close with the Trawler still in between them.  The Trawler kicked his legs just before the doors sliced him in between the ribs and hips and the bottom half fell to the ground with a thump.


Most of the Audience were a bit stumped at the fight. Especially how Mando-Oscar killed the last Trawler. The only ones who weren't affected by this was Ozpin, Salem, and Tyrian. Raven was surprised that someone like Ruby maimed the Trawlers, given Ruby's personality. 


       Sure Ruby herself fought people, but she never aimed to slice someone's limb off. The only time she did, was the fight with Tyrian in Oniyuri, after he poisoned Uncle Qrow. "I like how this guy thinks," Tyrian chuckled. Ruby on the other hand, was amazed that her Other had a lightsaber. "I have a lightsaber!" she squealed in excitement. "Wait," she turns to G-Fan. "Am I a Sith or a Jedi?" she asked. "You're an apprentice called a Jedi Padawan learner. Your counterpart survived the end of the Clone Wars at a really young age." A few noticed that the Boy used a somber tone at the end but  some ignored it.


Ruby and Mando-Oscar walk to the blue Mythrol, who was sitting himself up. "Thank you." he panted. "Thank you both very much." The Mandalorian and Jedi says nothing as they both stand before the blue humanoid. "You both have my heartfelt gratitude." Still nothing was said. (Roman-You know even I'm waiting for Red to say thank you. Yang-Same.) "You know what...here." He places his money on the table. "You two can take my credits. Buy yourselves a drink."


Ruby rolls her eyes, annoyed that the Mythrol wasn't getting the hint and placed her bounty puck on the table and a small hologram of the blue Mythrol appeared. (Emerald-Yeah, they are so not here for your money.) "Uh...is that a bounty puck?" he asks, only getting a nod from Ruby. "Look...uh...there must be some mistake." Mando-Oscar shook his head lightly. "I can get you both more credits." he tried to bribe, but Ruby held up her lightsaber hilt as Mando-Oscar reached for the blaster in his side holster. "There is only two options here, buster." Ruby said holding up two fingers. "We can bring you in warm...or we can bring you in cold." The Mythrol smiled before gulping in fear. Then the screen went black and the title appeared in green and red wording-




Aliit ori'shya tal'din: The Mandalorian and the Reaper.




"Wow, that was really intimidating there with Oscar's line," Jaune said. "I think it's obvious that the blue guy chooses option one," Weiss said, still a bit shocked with how Mando-Oscar killed the last one.


"You know, for some reason, I have a strong feeling that the title means something more than just a mutual partnership," Salem said rubbing her chin. G-Fan muttered and replied, "Well, it takes a while for that to be answered onscreen so might as well answer now." This caused most to look to the Boy. "Jedi's and Mandalorians were long time rivals before the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire for having different views. The Jedi are what you can call monks with laser swords and the Mandalorians are considered to be warriors. So both orders clashed before the Empire rose and the Republic fell. So Ruby and Mando are the second Mandalorian and Jedi partnership to be known. Well, actually not a lot of people know about the Jedi thanks to some events so not a lot of people would understand the significance." 


"Well that's sweet," Kali cooed. "What do you mean Mom?" Blake asked. "Your leader and the farmboy are one of the first to unite two different people." The older Cat Faunus answered with a small grin. Ruby blushed a little as Yang ruffled her hair. "Rosegarden," G-Fan chuckled as Oobleck turned to him and asked, "What does 'Aliit ori'shya tal'din' mean if you don't mind me asking." 


"Family is more than blood." G-Fan replied as the viewing continued.


The Mandalorian and the Reaper (See what I did there?) are shown walking with the handcuffed Mythrol walking through the snowy land away from the cantina and to a speeder stop. "We need passage through the yards." Mando-Oscar said to the ferryman as Ruby gave him a couple of credits. The ferryman holds a flute to his lips to call a speeder up which comes with a R2 droid unit as a pilot. (Penny-Aww, that's so cute!) "I'm sorry sir but," Ruby began as Mando-Oscar finished, "No droids." Ruby nodded with a little embarrassed smile. 


The Audience were confused as the ferryman said, subtitled, "I assure you, this speeder is brand new. It's the latest model..." Mando-Oscar tosses a coin to the ferryman, telling the Audience that he really doesn't want to have a droid with him. "At your pleasure," the ferryman sighed. He then calls another speeder. Unlike the first one, this one had a human pilot and was older and in rougher shape. "Where to?" the speeder pilot asked.


"I estimate that speeder will have a high chance to break down," Penny said her father nodded in agreement. "Why is Oscar choosing that piece of junk and not that cool flying Bumblebee?" Yang asked incredulously. "Bad experience with walking guns," G-Fan replied cryptically.


Back onscreen.


The speeder zooms over the frozen lake as the pilot scanned the area with heat visional binoculars. "You know what he's looking for..." The Mythrol said to the Mandalorian who still doesn't say anything. The Mythrol looks to the Reaper who just wiped the snow off her cloak. He turns to the speeder pilot and asks, "You're looking for Ravinaks right?" The pilot nodded and replied, "It's clear right now. But be careful near the port. Everyone dumps their gray holds out. They think the whole planets their own personal stink pit."


"What the heck's a Ravinak?" Mercury asked. "Don't worry Peg legs," G-Fan replied, "You'll find out soon. Give it a minute," Yang leaned to Blake and said, "Why do I feel like that it'll be a bad thing?" The Cat Faunus replied, "I'm sure it'll be fine."


On the screen, the speeder arrives at the Mandalorian and Reaper's ship called the Razor Crest, which seemed to be a piece of junk to the Mythrol. "Here you are," the speeder pilot says as the Mythrol deadpans at the two bounty hunters. "You're kidding me right?" Ruby doesn't respond as Mando-Oscar says, "Get out." 


As they get out, the Mythrol says, "I'll hire us a Livery Cruiser. No big deal. It won't even come out of your end. I'll pay for it." He notices Ruby rolling her eyes. "I'm just trying to make it pleasant." Does this guy ever shut up? Ruby thinks while Mando-Oscar thinks, I think we should bring him cold.


"Hey, it's time to go. So let's settle up," the speeder pilot says before Mando-Oscar pays him. "I'd stay off the ice if I were you guys," the speeder pilot says before he drives off. As they get ready to board the Razor Crest, the Mythrol turns to them nervously. "You think there's actually something to worry about?" The Reaper waved her hand dismissively. The Mandalorian doesn't say anything as the Mythrol looks at the speeder now far off in the distance. Suddenly the icy surface breaks and something large and alive takes the speeder under water with it.


Most of the Audience jumped up in surprise at the surprise animal attack. "My word, that reminds of the aquatic Grimm I hunted in my days." Port commented in awe. Luckily for the students, he didn't say anything else. "That my pegged legged friend is a Ravinak," the Boy said to Mercury.


"Oh! Oh!" the Mythrol exclaimed in terror. He noticed that the Mandalorian and Reaper closed the hatch without him inside and pounded on the door urgently. "Open the hatch! Open the hatch!" He turns to see the ice cracking, indicating the Ravinak was heading to him. He screams before the hatch opens and the Reaper pulls him in while saying, "Get in, you idiot!" She turns to the cockpit and shouts, "Mando, get us out of here!"


Suddenly the ice explodes again and the Audience sees that the Ravinak is a large crocodilian creature whose face resembled that of a walrus. And was now clamping it jaws around the Razor Crest's leg.


In the cockpit, the Mythrol says, trembling, "Dank farikk, that was close! "Stay off the ice," that's the understatement of the millennium." He feels the Ravinak pulling the Razor Crest and says, "It's taking us down!" then he notices the Mandalorian walking out of the cockpit, "What are you doing?! It's got us! We're going to go-" The Reaper interrupts him by  slapping him across the face. "Would you relax? Mando's got it handled."


"You seem really confident there Ruby," Jaune pointed out. The red reaper blushed and tried to answer. "Well, obviously. I'd be confident if Weiss was the one doing it." Weiss herself gave her team leader a skeptic look but didn't say anything.


The Audience sees the Mandalorian grab the two pointed spear from his back as the door opens. He leans close the Ravinak's face and jabs his spear into its muzzle. Blue electricity surges through the spear tips and through out the Ravinak's whole body causing the large predator to shriek in pain after it lets go of the Razor Crest and the ship flies off.


The scene changes to the Razor Crest flying out of the planet's atmosphere. "I like your ship. She's a classic." Neither the Reaper or Mando say anything. "Razor Crest, am I right?" No response, "Pre-Empire?" Still nothing but a short nod from the Reaper. "I have a lot of credits, by the way, that's why I offered to hail a cruiser."


Reaper-The gesture was mildly appreciated but we like to stick with the classics.


Mando-...


Yang-It seems your crush is the strong silent type, sis~


Ruby-Yang!


G-Fan-Well, most of the time he wants to get the job done.


"How much are they paying you two?" the Mythrol asked. "Enough to refuse from you," the Reaper replied, using her Jedi training to keep her patience from dwindling. The Mythrol nods and turns to the Mandalorian. "Is it true you guys never take your helmets?" he asks. "It will best for you to keep your mouth shut," the Reaper growls through gritted teeth.


"Oh...boy." The Mythrol said before a moment of silence followed. The Reaper let out a sigh and the Mandalorian seemed to relax a bit. Then the Mythrol said, "I think I have to use the vacc tube." The Audience sees one of the Reaper's silver eye twitch a couple of times. Since when did the targets have a big mouth like this? the Mandalorian thinks, causing some of the Audience to chuckle. "I mean I could do it here, but if you never seen a fledging Mythrol evacuate their thorax, you're a lucky guy. Trust me." ("Oh Brothers, please don't.") When he got no response, he got up and continues to talk.


Mythrol-Clearly, there's no place for me to go here. So, uh...I'm gonna go look for the vacc tube if it's all the same for you?" No response, "Great." The Mythrol leaves. "Sometimes, I want to disincarnate the ones that talk too much." Mando said in annoyance. "Mando you know that disincarnations are forbidden in the Guild," Reaper said to her partner. The Mandalorian sighed in response causing the Reaper to giggle.


The scene shows the Mythrol getting off the ladder. He looks to the right and says, "Oh, found it!" The screen panels to show the toilet. "Thanks," he calls back. "It might take a while. I'm molting." He lied and opened a weapons closet and closes it.


"Hey what is he doing?" Ruby asked. "Obviously looking through your guys' stuff," Robyn replied. "Probably to find a escape." Harriet said, rubbing her chin in thought. "Your other better make sure he doesn't sabotage the Razor Crest, Ms. Rose." Glynda said to her student. James didn't say anything but nodded in agreement.


"Oh, this feels so much better," the Mythrol continues to talk to the bounty hunters. "I haven't evacuated since the solstice." (Cinder-How does that work? Watts-Different species, I suppose.) "Yeah," he says as he walks through the belly of the ship. "I was hoping to be free for...uh...Life Day." (Maria-What is that? G-Fan-Honestly, I think it's a holiday that was recently invented. Klein-That sounds interesting.) "Maybe even...uh..." He finds two bounty holds with frozen bounties.


"Are all those people frozen?" Ruby asked, getting a nod from the Boy. "Interesting way for transporting, perhaps we should consider transporting criminals like this," James said to himself. Robyn, Sienna, Adam, and Ilia rolled their eyes while the Ace-Ops seemed to agree with the General while they were still in shock at the fact that he shot a fourteen year old kid.


Neo and Roman shuddered at the idea of being in the state. Neo holds up a sign, Would you survive that? The Boy did a so-so gesture. "Depends on your state when you're being incased in carbonite."


"Get home to the...family." He pauses at one of the last carbonite incased bounties. "I guess that's not gonna happen this year." Behind him appears the Mandalorian ("How did he do that?" "He's a witch!") who says, "Probably not." Before the Mythrol could react, the Mandalorian forces him into a empty carbonite case and freezes the blue alien in place.


"Yikes, but the face he made looks funny." Clover commented.


"So did you put him in my hold?" The Reaper onscreen asks the Mandalorian, getting the Audience's attention. "Sorry, but he was on my side of the ship, so he's in my bounty hold." Mando replied as he switched seats with the Reaper so now he was driving again. "You said the next bounty would be on my hold," Reaper said with narrowed eyes but the Audience could see a glint of playfulness in her silver orbs. "I said he was standing on my side, so I put him the closest carbonite caser," Mando said, "which was on my side." The Red Reaper crossed her arms and muttered, "I call hax."


"What was that about?" Pyrrha asked. "They have separate bounty holds so they have different scores." G-Fan replied. "It's a little competition between them." The tournament champion nodded in understandment and continued to watch the viewing.


The Razor Crest lands on the port of the Nevarro system. The Reaper and Mandalorian walk out head the cantina that the Guild used to meet the Guild leader Roman Torchwick and his heir, Neapolitan.


"Oscar and I work for him and her?" Ruby asked, pointing to the criminals themselves. The master thief just sat back and grinned while Neo once again waved flags this time with Chibi Roman and Neo faces on them while smiling.


"Ah that was fast," Roman said as the Reaper and the Mandalorian sat down across from him and his daughter. "Did you catch them all?" To answer, Both Mando and Reaper places their pucks on the table. "What's the score?" Neo asked with a robotic attachment on her throat, giving her an artificial voice, surprising the thieving duo.


"Do you want me to give you a voice, Neo?" G-Fan asked the ice cream themed thief. Neo shook her head and held up her sign, This is just how I talk, Mr. G-Fan. The Boy shrugged "Alright."


The Red Reaper grumbled, "Mando put the last in his hold, when it was suppose to be in mine." Neo nodded as Roman looked at the fobs, "Good, I'll begin the off-load." He turns to another humanoid and says something that wasn't subtitled for the Audience. As Roman turns back to the Mandalorian and the Red Reaper, Neo places Imperial credits on the table. "These are Imperial credits," The Reaper pointed out.


Roman-They still spend.


"I don't know if you heard," The Mandalorian began, "but the Empire is gone." Neo shrugged, "It's all we got," she said. Both of the bounty hunters grab their tracking fobs back, but Roman stops them whilst saying, "Save the theatrics." He looks to Neo who sighs, "Fine, I'll..." she says before placing a different type of credits on the table. "I can do Calamari Flan but I can only pay half the price." The Mandalorian and the Red Reaper share a glance before Mando says, "Fine," He grabs the Imperial credits and divides it evenly with his partner.


"So the Empire is gone?" Weiss asked. G-Fan nodded to the ex heiress's question. "What about Vader-Qrow and Salem?" Winter asked. "Sorry Ice Queen, but that's a tale for another time." replied the Boy.


The scenes switches to people unloading the frozen bounties from Razor Crest before going back to the cantina.  The Reaper and Mandalorian sat quietly as Neo placed different bounty pucks on the table. "Hmm, We got a bail jumper, a bail jumper, another bail jumper, (Emerald-How many bail jumpers are there? G-Fan-You mean on this bounty list or in general?) ooh and a wanted smuggler," the young girl said before looking to the bounty hunters. "We'll take them all," said the Reaper as she reached for the pucks but Roman stops her. "Nah hold on." Roman says before lowering his tone a bit. "There are other members of the Guild remember? And this is all I have."


Mando-Why so slow?


Roman-It's not slow. Very busy. Actually, very busy. They just to want to pay for Guild rates.


Neo-They don't mind if things get sloppy.


"What's your highest bounty?" asked the Reaper. Roman shook his head, "Not much," he answered. "Five thousand." (Mercury-*Whistles* Yang-That's a lot.)


"That won't even cover fuel these days," retorted the Mandalorian. (Cinder-Fuel is that expensive? Nora-Huh, must be richer than Weiss's family.) Roman and Neo looked thoughtful. "There is one job."


The Reaper leans a bit forward, "Well, let's see the puck." Neo shook her head. "No puck," the girl says. "Face to face. Direct commission. Really deep pocket."


"Underworld?" the Mandalorian questions. Roman shrugged. "All I know is the chain code." he says as Neo pull out a chit card. "Do you want the chit or not?"  Neo asks. The Mandalorian silently answers by grabbing the chit card and both him and and the Red Reaper walk out of the cantina. The scene changes to show the duo walking through the small town and finally reaches their destination.


The Reaper knocks twice before a sensor eye peeks out of the wall, scaring a few. It asks for identification in a un-subtitled language and Mando holds out the chit card for the eye to see. The sensor eye reads the card before disappearing into the wall and the door opens. The Mando and the Reaper shared a glance as they enter the building. 


The bounty hunters walk through the door before entering a large room with four Imperial stormtroopers and the client, Lil' Miss Malachite.


Roman, Neo, Cinder and Raven narrowed their eyes in recognition while most besides Ozpin and Ironwood looked to the woman confused. And a few notice the Reaper growing tense at the sight of the Imperial Stormtroopers.


"Roman Torchwick said you were coming," Lil' Miss Malachite greets as Mando and Reaper enter the room. "What else did he tell you?" Mando asks as Reaper eyes the troopers wearily. "He said that you two were the best of the parsec," Miss Malachite replies. A door suddenly opens and before the person even opens, both Mandalorian and the Red Reaper draw their blasters and lightsaber as the stormtroopers draw theirs.


Stormtrooper-Freeze!


"No!" the man who just entered, Perry exclaims holding his hands up. "Drop your weapons!" commanded another stormtrooper. "No, no, no, no. Uh...sorry. I didn't...mean to alarm," Perry stammers. Lil' Miss Malachite stands up and walks to both of the bounty hunters. She eyes the lightsaber in Ruby's hands before saying, "This is Doctor Perry. Please excuse his lack of decorum." She turns to Ruby. "His enthusiasm outweighs his discretion." She turns to Mando, "Please lower your weapons."


Mando-Tell them to lower theirs first.


Stormtrooper-We have you four to two.


Oscar/Ruby-I like those odds.


Ruby-There not in you guys' favor any way.


"Well, based on the little brawl in the bar," Velvet said, "I don't think the stormtroopers would last." Oh, you don't know the half of it. G-Fan thought.


Back onscreen, Lil' Miss Malachite walks closer. "Roman also said that you're expensive. Very expensive. Please sit."  She signals the troopers to lower their blasters and this causes Mando and the Reaper to lower their respective weapons and they sit across the client. Lil' Miss Malachite then pulls out a clothed package and hands it to Mando who opens it. "Is that...?" The Reaper asks leaning forward, "Beskar?" Mando finishes. "Go ahead. It's real." Malachite replies.


Mando inspects the ingot as Reaper looks in at awe. "This is only a down payment. I have a camtono of Beskar waiting for you upon delivery of the asset."


Perry-Alive.


Lil' Miss Malachite-Yes, alive. But I am aware that bounty hunting is a complicated profession. This being the case, proof of termination is also acceptable for a lower fee.


"That's not what we agreed upon," protested Perry. "I'm simply being pragmatic." Was the client's reply. "Let's see the puck." Mando said to the client. She shook her head slightly. "I'm afraid discretion dictates a less traditional agreement. We can only offer a tracking fob."


"Well, at least it's something," the Reaper said as Dr. Perry hands her the fob. "What's the chain code?" asked Mando. "We can only provide the last four digits."


Reaper-Wait, that's all?


Mando-Their age?


Malachite-Yes, they are fifty years old. We can also give you last positional data. Between that and the fob, people of your skill, should make short of this."


The Audience were a bit intrigued about this. "So Ruby and Oscar are hunting someone who is fifty years old and they only have the last coordinates of they were at last," Harriet says interested. "I wonder what's so special about the Beskar metal," Sienna commented. "Oh, for a Mandalorian, Beskar steel is sacred to their people, culture, and creed." G-Fan said. "Quit interesting, I hope we can learn more about the Mandalorian culture." Doctor Oobleck replied in the speedy language he always speaks in.


"The Client seems really wants to have the target brought to her if she doesn't care about them being dead or alive," Kali murmured to Ghira who gave a nod in response.


The Mandalorian and the Red Reaper both stand and move to leave. "The Beskar belongs to the hand of a Mandalorian," Lil' Miss Malachite commented, causing them both to pause. "It is good to restore the natural order of things, and I'll admit that it is interesting to see a person," she looks to the Reaper with narrowed eyes, "with your philosophies working with someone of his own," she tilts her head to the Mandalorian. The duo share a look before leaving the room, leading to leaving the building without another word.


"So, it appears that Ms. Malachite knows about the significance about the partnership between the Mandalorian and the Jedi," Glynda commented, adjusting her glasses. "It appears so," Port nodded. "I wonder if that's a good thing that she knows," Clover concurred. "You'll find out." the Boy replied.


As the scene changed, the Mandalorian says to the Reaper, "I need to take care of business with the Beskar, I'll meet you at the Crest." Reaper nodded and the duo went their separate ways. The Mandalorian walks away and enters a tunnel that leads into an underground facility. He walks past other Mandalorians and the Audience sees some children running wearing Mandalorian helmets. The Audience see a large steel animal skull as Mando-Oscar enters a forge. He quietly sits in front of the Mandalorian armorer and places the Beskar ingot on the table in front of him. The armorer inspects the ingot the armorer and notices the Imperial symbol on the corner.


"This was gathered in the Great Purge," the armorer says, her voice telling those who knew her in the Audience's realm to be Amber Autumn. "It is good to be good to be back with the Tribe."


"Yes," Mando-Oscar said softly. "A pauldron is in order." Amber replied. "Has your signet been revealed yet?" she questioned. "Not yet." Mando-Oscar answers. "Soon." was Amber's response. As she prepares the forge for the pauldron, she continues to speak to Mando-Oscar, "This is extremely generous. The excess will sponsor many Foundlings."


Mando-Oscar-That's good. I was once a Foundling.


"I know," the armorer said before a series of flashbacks are shown as she creates the pauldron. The Audience couldn't make out much but they saw a glimpse of a younger version of Oscar and his parents running through a battle and explosions (Nora-Explosions!) before the flashbacks end as she places the pauldron on Mando-Oscar's right shoulder.


"Huh, so he lives in a tribe of Mandalorians," Raven commented. She got more intrigued, while she wasn't planning on returning to the Branwen Tribe, she wanted to see if their were any similarities with the Mandalorians.


"I wonder what a Foundling is?" Whitley commented. "I believe I have a good idea," Adam replied.


Back onscreen, the Red Reaper inspects a blaster as the Mandalorian enters the Razor Crest. She looks up and sees the Beskar pauldron. "You know, Mando, I still wonder why I don't see where you get to sleep or anything when you say you got other business," she says as she got up and followed Mando to the cockpit. "You should know by now that I can't tell you anything, Ruby." Ruby scoffs and rolls her eyes. "At least tell me my partner's name." she says as she sits in the seat behind Mando. "I can't speak my name to you unless you want be in my own clan." Ruby sighed. "Can't you bend the rules a little?" she asked. "I'm not one who bends the rules, Ruby." 


Ruby offscreen felt hurt at that Oscar hasn't tell her name. Yang patted her head reassuringly, "Don't worry sis," she said, "He'll come around." Ruby smiled and gave her a one armed hug.


Onscreen, Ruby closed her eyes and seemed to have her own flashbacks. Like Mando's, the Audience didn't see much but from the looks of it was in a battle against droids but then it showed Republic Clone Troopers pointing guns at her and another Jedi. Then, Salem's voice was heard, "Execute Order 66."


"Order 66?" Most of the Audience repeated to themselves. The Boy didn't say anything and stayed silent.


When Ruby woke up, the Razor Crest arrived in the Arvala-7 system. When the two get out, Ruby pulls her hood over her face and Mando scans the landscape with his sniper rifle spear. "You see anything Ruby?" Mando asked as he sees a couple of blurgs in the distance. "No, everything's-Blurrg!" Mando lowers his sniper and sees a Blurrg, a lizard like creature charging at him and the Reaper. Mando tries to burn the Blurrg with the flame thrower in his gauntlet but the Blurrg clamped his jaw on his forearm. "Mando!" The Reaper called out before a second Blurrg came and bit on her hood and shook her like a rag doll.


Most of the Audience jumped when the two blurgs attacked the Mandalorian and the Red Reaper. A few laughed on Ruby's response.


Suddenly two darts hit the side of both Blurrgs and the creatures went limp. Mando pulled his arm out and looked to the Red Reaper. "Reaper? You dead?" he asked. The Reaper shook her head and weakly said, "No." Mando nodded weakly, "Cool." He said and they both looked and saw a short humanoid riding his own Blurrg. "Thank you." Reaper said with a nod. "You are bounty hunters?" the humanoid said, his voice being recognized as Klein. "Yes," Mando answered. "I will help you both." Klein replied. He turns and waved his hand. "I have spoken."


"Klein is an alien," Weiss said in awe. "That's an interesting concept," Winter replied. Willow nodded, and Whitley said, "I agree." Klein himself was surprised by his other's appearance. Yang and a few others, laughed at the last sentence.


The scene changes to show Klein's residence. "Many have passed through." Klein said handing drinks to the Mandalorian and the Reaper. "They seek the same one you two seek."


Mando-Oscar-Did you help them?


Klein-Yes...They died.


Reaper-...Well then, I'm not sure if we want your help.


Klein-You do. I can show you two the encampment.


"What's your cut?" Mando asked. Klein shook his head. "You'll need both of them."


"Both of what?" The Red Reaper asked.


"The Blurrg you helped capture."


"The Blurrg?" Mando repeated. "You can keep them both." Klein shook his head. "No, you need one to ride. The way is impossible to pass without a Blurrg mount."


"You want us to ride the same creatures that tried to eat us alive?" Reaper asked, slightly hesitantly to which Klein nodded to. "Uh..." Was the Reaper's only response. After a long pause of silence passed, Mando said, "We don't know how to ride a Blurrg."


"I have spoken," Was Klein's response.


"I'm concerned for Ruby's safety," Tai said, Summer patted his shoulder reassuringly. "If she's not afraid to slice someone's hand off Tai, I'm sure she'll be fine." Raven dismissed.


Mando is shown landing face first in the dirt and the Red Reaper was shown laughing and riding on a Blurrg. "Perhaps if you removed your helmet," Klein suggested. "Good luck with getting that through his head!" The Red Reaper  called out. Ignoring his partner's jab, Mando said to Klein, "Perhaps he remembers, I tried to roast him."


Red Reaper-I'm sure she'll remember that you assumed her gender.


Klein-This is a female. Males are all eaten during mating.


Mando tries again but gets thrown off again. The Red Reaper laughs at his disarray as he gets up with a growl and walks to Klein, "I don't have time for this! Do you have a Landspeeder or a speeder bike I can hire?" 


"You are a Mandalorian!" Klein shouts, "Your ancestors rode the great  Mythosaur." He points to the Blurrg. "Surely you can ride this young foal."


"Oh ho! Personal challenge! I like it," exclaimed Port. "I'll admit I'm curious about this Mythosaur he speaks of." Oobleck says. "Will we be able to see it in this viewing?" G-Fan shrugs in response.


"Come on, Mando! You can do it!" cheers the Red Reaper. "I believe in you!" Mando approaches the Blurrg again. She lets out a low growl, "Easy, easy." Mando says, holding his hands up. "Now, alright. Settle down." She moves to shove him, "Settle down. Whoa!" he exclaims a little. "Settle, settle." The Blurrg relaxes as Mando places a hand on her muzzle. Mando then jumps onto the Blurrg's  back and she doesn't throw him into the dirt. "Whoo!" cheered the Red Reaper. "You made your ancestors proud!" 


"Yep! You sure did, Lil' Oz Boy!" Nora cheered as well with Ruby and Sun. Ozpin just sighed in response of the pink bomber's nickname and didn't move to correct her. Glynda rubbed his back.


The scene changes to show the trio riding  the Blurrgs through the rocky plain until they see the encampment where their bounty is. "There is where you'll find your quarry," Klein says gesturing to the encampment. The Red Reaper holds out a bag of credits but he waves them off. "Please you deserve it." she says but he still refuses. "Since these ones arrived," the farmer began, "This territory has been an endless stream of mercenaries seeking reward and bringing destruction. 


Mando-Then why did you guide us?


Klein-They do not belong here, those that live here come to find peace. There will be no peace until they are gone.


Some frowned at hearing that. "My Other may not be a Huntress, but I'm sure she will help you Mr. Klein," Ruby said determinedly. The Schnees gritted their teeth of thinking about those mercenaries bothering Klein. The Boy flinched at the protective thoughts of the siblings, knowing what was gonna happen to Klein's counterpart. And it will most likely hurt them more than Jacques ever could.


"Then why do you help?" The Red Reaper asked. "I never met a Mandalorian or a Jedi." Klein answered. "I only read of the stories. If they are true, then with your combined skills, you will make quick work of this." The farmer turns to leave, "I have spoken."


"Your butler sure talks funny, Ice Princess." Sun chuckled. The Schnee siblings looked like they were gonna say something but Klein stops them. "Come now, young ones. You have to admit my Other's speech pattern is amusing." the butler chuckled himself.


Back to the viewing, the Mandalorian pulls out a telescope and looks to see the mercenaries inhabiting the encampment. "How much do you see?" the Red Reaper asks. "Somewhere between twenty and thirty hostiles," Mando replies then sees a tall shiny person walking to the building. "Oh no," he mutters. "What?" Reaper asks. "Bounty Droid." Mando sighed as the Red Reaper recognized the droid


In the settlement's entrance, P3-N1 (Ruby-Wait, is that? Penny-I have appeared onscreen! Sensational!) says, "Subparagraph 16 of the Bondsman Guild protocol waiver compels you to immediately produce said asset."


"Huh?" was what most of the Audience said. "She is asking kindly for them to give her the bounty," Pietro and Arthur both explained. "Oh." was everyone's response.


Turning back to the screen, the Audience sees a couple of mercenaries firing at P3-N1 but she quickly shoots them all down while the rest hid inside the building. Back on the cliff, the Red Reaper says to Mando, "Well, so much for stealth." Mando replies exasperated, "Droids."


Red Reaper-Hey, give her a chance.


Mando-She shoots me, I cannot guaranteed her safety.


R. Reaper-That's good enough for me.


"So young one," Maria smiled warmly. "Your still friends with her friends even in another world." Ruby smiled as Penny hugged her gently this time.


"Subparagraph 16 of the Bondsman Guild protocol waiver compels you to immediately produce said asset." P3-N1 said as she walks further in to the encampment. Mando and R. Reaper appear from behind a pillar. "P3 unit stand down!" Mando says causing P3-N1 points her blasters at him, Reaper holds up her hands. "Easy P3, it's me!" 


P3-N1-Ruby?


Reaper-Yeah!


The droid looks at Mando, "I apologize for almost shooting a Guild member," she said, "I thought I was the only one on assignment."


Mando-Well, that makes three of us.


P3-N1-Sadly, I must ask for your tracking fob. I have already issued the writ of seizure. The asset is mine.


Red Reaper-Uh, P3...you are empty handed right?


P3-This is true.


"I have a suggestion then," Mando said holding a blaster up. "Proceed," P3 replied. "We split the reward. Three ways." Reaper nodded and held up her thumb. "This is acceptable." P3 said.


R. Reaper-Good! Then let's regroup where these people can't see us and form a plan of attacking and retrieving the asset.


Mando-How does that sound?


"I'm surprised you're thinking things through," Weiss said, having Blake and Yang nod in agreement. "Hey, I can think things through!" Ruby protested. Her teammates give her a skeptic look but they chose to say nothing and look back at the screen.


"I will of course receive the reputation merits associated with the mission." P3 said to the duo. "Can't we talk about this later?" Mando asked looking for enemies. "I require an answer if I am to proceed with the mission-" P3 began but a blaster bolt flies past her and R. Reaper deflects it with her lightsaber. "Oh no!" P3 exclaims. "Alert! Alert!" Mando aims his blaster and both him and P3 fire at the enemies and Red Reaper deflects the fire with her lightsaber.


Mando-Let's go!


Reaper holds up the tracking fob and points to a large steel door. "He's in there guys!" she shouts over the crossfire. "Affirmative," P3 said as her upper body rotates along with her eyes to fire in different directions. (Velvet-That was a little creepy. Coco-Well, she is a robot.)


"Up top!" Mando shouted. P3 points her blasters up and fires upward. Not soon after a reptilian humanoid falls to the ground.


"That was impressive Penny," Pietro praised his daughter. "Yes, perhaps we should train you to use sidearms," Winter said thoughtfully. "Thank you father," Penny said with a happy smile, "Thank you for the suggestion, Winter. I might consider it."


The trio takes cover behind some pillars as the mercenaries continue to fire all they got at them. "It appears we are trapped." P3 pointed out (Mercury-Thanks for the update.) "I will initiate self destruct sequencing."


"Whoa! You're what?!" Mando asked what the Audience was thinking. "Manufactures Protocol dictates that I cannot be captured." P3 said. (Whitley-I kinda doubt that they will want to take you in. Adam-Same.) "I must self destruct."


Mando-Do not self destruct.


"Cover me!" Red Reaper said as she jumps to the door and tries to open the via hot wiring. The attempt failed and she hid next to Mando, "New plan." she said to Mando as the gun fighting continued. "They got us pinned!" Mando said as the Audience saw the enemy pull out a large blaster. 


P3-N1-I will initiate self destruct. (Yang-What is it with her and blowing herself?!)


Mando-Do not self destruct! We're shooting our way out.


The three of them step out and see the heavy gun "Okay..." was all Mando said before they hid behind the pillar again, getting a few to chuckle. "New plan," he said, mimicking the Red Reaper. "Beginning self-destruct," P3 said as red lights started blinking. "No! Stop it!" Reaper snapped. Mando turned them both, "Draw their fire! I'll take it out."


R. Reaper-On it!


P3-Affirmative.


The three split and P3 and Reaper do as Mando instructed before Mando pulled the gun with his grappling hook and knocked the shooter off his seat and fired at the remaining enemies. The Reaper helps P3 up who got hit by a bolt. She raises an eyebrow at Mando who sighed as he walked up to P3. "You know, you're not so bad. For a droid.


P3-N1-Agreed.


"That blaster hit looks nasty, P3," Reaper said, concerned. "Are you alright?" P3's eyes glowed as she said, "Running a quick diagnostic." She stayed silent before saying, "I am fine Ruby, the bolt missed my central wiring harness."


Mando/Ruby/Nora/Yang-Is that good?


Red Reaper/Winter/Watts/Pietro/Ironwood-Yes.


Mando-Well, now we just have to get the door open.


"Don't my friends," The Red Reaper said with a wide grin as the two turn to her. She tilts her head to the heavy gun. (WBY/JNPR/CV/SN/TR-Oh no. SR-Oh yes.)


It cuts to the inside of the door and sparks shower from the side as blaster bolts shoot through and the Audience hear the Red Reaper laughing from outside. The steel doors fall down and the three hunters enter in. "Can we keep it?" Red Reaper asked as they entered. "Ruby, where would we even put it?" Mando asked. Before she could answer a lone enemy jumps out but is quickly shot down. "Anyone else?" Mando asked.


"The tracking fob is still active." P3 said as the three walked in. "And my sensors indicate that there is a life form present."


R. Reaper-And I sense...a presence similar to someone...I haven't seen since...


The Mandalorian scans the room and finds a small container. Both him and the Red Reaper open it. "Wait, they said fifty years old." The Red Reaper stared at the little creature. The Audience now saw it as well. Its skin was green, it had large bat like ears, three noticeable fingers and very large brown eyes. Despite it said being fifty years old, the Audience could tell it looked to be a baby of its species.


"AWWWWWWWW!!!" Nearly everyone said, even Adam, Cinder, Mercury, Salem, Watts, Hazel, Ironwood, Harriet, Elm, Clover, Robyn, Raven with Glynda and Ren (And they're usually self-controlled.) exclaimed at the sight of the baby. "That's fifty years old?" Sun asked, stunned. "IT'S SO CUTE! I WANT TO HOLD IT!" Shouted Ruby, Nora, Jaune, Ilia, Blake, Yang, Emerald, Neptune, Penny, Maria, Whitley, Klein, Pietro, Roman and Neo (Signed in Neo's case.) Ozpin was trying his hardest not to coo at the Child onscreen.


..."Can I kill it?" Tyrian asked with a crazed grin.


"NO!!!" Everyone shouted at to the Scorpion Faunus. Even Salem.


Tyrian slumped and grumbled.


Grand Master Maria? Ruby thought in awe.  "Species age differently." P3 replied to Mando, "Perhaps it can live many centuries." She raises one of her blasters to the Child. "Sadly, we'll never know." Mando stares at the Child mesmerized, stops her. "Wait, we'll bring it in alive." He said sternly. "The commission was specific. The asset must be terminated."


The Audience grew tense at seeing Penny's counterpart about to shoot a child. "Please don't do it Penny!" Ruby begged. "Or I'll break your everything!" Nora growled. "I can't watch!" Velvet cried, curling into a ball. Penny was horrified at her Other's actions and she buried her face into her father's chest.


Red flashed off Mando's helmet ("No!") then the Audience sees P3 falling on the ground with a hole in her head. Mando puts his blaster away, telling the Audience he shot P3. Both him and the Red Reaper reach a hand to the Child who reaches out to them as well.


The screen goes black and the Audience hear Ruby say, "The Force is strong with this one."
